Granddaughter Card

A card for my granddaughter who celebrated her 16th birthday recently.

I made the card base with a Crafter's Companion 'Triple-Stepper' set of dies.  The patterned paper is from The Works.  I used two of my favourite butterfly dies, Memory Box  'Pippi Butterfly' and 'Isabella Butterfly'. 

I am joining in the following challenges:

We returned home yesterday from a few days in our caravan in North Devon.  We were lucky enough be in an area with no light pollution when the Northern Lights appeared on Monday. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me and this is the best I could get using my mobile phone.

  12. Such a lovely celebration of a milestone birthday, and the triple‑stepper design shows off those patterned papers beautifully. The layered butterflies add such a graceful touch, and the soft colors feel perfect for a sixteen‑year‑old. The Northern Lights photo is incredible as well, especially knowing it was captured on a mobile phone.

  14. This is so very pretty and a lovely colour combo. You always inspire me to make folded cards and use my papers they are so beautifully made. You did so well to see the lights and to get this on your phone, as I understand it usually your phone doesn't have the tech to pick up the colours.
